December KAPMMA Show to Feature Kung Fu vs. Karate Bout
Karriem Abdallah, the man behind KAPMMA, has announced another installment in his amateur championship series. The date is December 18th and the venue is Essex County College in Newark, and if the idea of checking out some amateur MMA bouts isn't enough of an enticement, then maybe the promised "kung fu vs. karate" superfight is enough to rope you in. Novell Bell, aka "the Black Taoist", will be repping the kung fu half of the equation, with Sensei Mo representing the karate half. I have no idea who Sensei Mo is, but Bell appeared on the ill-fated BET show "The Iron Ring" as some sort of guest instructor. Does he truly possess the right traditional martial arts techniques to foil those moves that might occur in an MMA bout? Can he stop a takedown with his chi? Or will he and Sensei Mo just start busting out katas until referee Donny Carolei gets frustrated and clobbers them both with a fire extinguisher? Stay tuned!

Hardly sounds like it's going to be bout of the century. I can see a lot of windmilling in, hit the deck and and more windmilling. Shame and it's not representative of the martial art - just that they've probably not had the same fight training and experience.
This Fight is Billed as a MMA Fight.
If its a point fight or something like that then it should not be on the KAPMMA Ticket and people gonna want their money back - its Bogus and bad for the Sport.
